Revision as of 12:51, 21 October 2014

Teachers often have the challenge of teaching students who may all be at different levels of understanding on a specific topic, especially when teaching multiple students with significant cognitive disabilities. The Element Cards are available to assist educators with instruction in multiple settings. These cards promote understanding of how students move toward the Common Core State Standards. They contain one or more Core Content Connectors from a specific instructional family, include the related progress indicator from the Learning Progression Frameworks, provide essential understandings that include measurable and observable content that is challenging, yet attainable, provide suggested instructional strategies, and suggested supports for students so that they can demonstrate what they know. The Element Cards are intended to assist teachers in developing instructional lessons that will include all students and promote Universal Design for Learning. Each Element Card presents Essential Understanding(s), which define a range of skills based on a grade-specific Core Content Connector.
